description of all engine-related service specifications.
Clean Engine

engine. Keep linkage, spring, and controls clean. Keep area around and
behind muffler free of any combustible debris.
• Keeping engine clean allows air movement around engine.
• Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating and
ignition of accumulated debris.
Do not use water to clean engine parts. Water could contaminate fuel
system. Use a brush or dry cloth.
